About this location
Beechwood House is a truly unique property and location. Originally built in 1888, it retains all the original features and grandeur of its Victorian era, combined with a recent Mies van der Rohe-inspired modernist glass extension to the rear.
Recently featured on Channel 4’s Extraordinary Extensions (Series 3, Episode 4), the property was described by Tinie Tempah as “a seriously spectacular end result”.
The Victorian building retains all its original features, including a grand entrance hallway with a Minton mosaic-tiled floor, high ceilings, decorative coving and skirting, marble fireplaces, and cast-iron radiators.
The new extension features a large, modern, open-plan kitchen and dining room with a substantial island. It opens onto a spacious porcelain-tiled patio featuring an outdoor kitchen and pergola, a swim spa, and a koi pond with a fountain and waterfalls.
The property also features a separate outbuilding converted into a cosy pub, games room, and cinema room, complete with an open fireplace and a wood-burning stove.
The house sits centrally within its one-acre plot and is surrounded on all sides by mature trees, ensuring a private and secluded setting. Complete with its own woodland and stream, the grounds offer a variety of environments and views.
With ample secure parking for multiple vehicles on the front gravel driveway, easily accessed through two four-metre-wide gates, the property is practical for large-scale shoots. It also benefits from high-speed gigabit Wi-Fi.
